Lawrence (Douglas County)

Thematic Nomination: Historic Resources of Lawrence (2001)

Located directly west of the downtown commercial area and east of the University of Kansas campus, the majority of the Oread Historic District falls within the Original town plat, and thus represents one of Lawrence's oldest residential neighborhoods. Not only did it provide easy access to downtown and campus, several churches were either adjacent or located within its boundaries. Central School and later a high school were located on the two south corners of Kentucky and 9th streets. The district contains a variety of residences that represent changing tastes, fashions, and construction methods in American architecture. There are good examples of the large fashionable homes, several more modest National Folk type residences of the working class, and later examples of residential styles that were popular in the early twentieth century.



Oregon-California Trail Segments

Picture of property 867 US-40 Hwy
Lawrence vicinity (Douglas County)
Listed in National Register Apr 5, 2016

Architect: Not Applicable
Area of Significance: road-related; transportation
Architectural Style(s): Other

This remnant of the Oregon and California trails network is part of the eastern (beginning) section of the combined trail, which emigrants passed over on the first few days of their journey west. One of the most important resources in this initial portion of the trail was Big Springs, a reliable water source lying approximately nine miles west of these two swales. Active between 1840 and circa 1860, these swales were nominated under Criterion A for their association with transportation and exploration/settlement along the combined route of the Oregon and California trails. This site's associative significance and similarity to related trail sites suggest that associated artifact assemblages may be present; they were therefore also nominated under Criterion D. Due to current transportation developments within the immediate vicinity, this site is all that remains of a larger segment.



O'Sullivan, John & Anna, Farmstead

Picture of property 710 E 100 Rd
Overbrook vicinity (Douglas County)
Listed in National Register Jun 29, 2018

Architect: Unknown
Area of Significance: Agricultural District
Architectural Style(s): Vernacular
Thematic Nomination: Historic Agriculture Related Resources of Kansas

The property was settled by John and Anna O'Sullivan in 1866 and was developed into a successful family operated cattle and livestock farm. The property has been continuously owned and operated as a family farm by descendants of the O'Sullivans. The farmstead is a cohesive collection of farm and rural residential-related structures that demonstrate development-over-time by reflecting the resources and values of a single family over multiple generations, and by incorporating technological changes into the architectural fabric. The buildings are significant as they convey the feeling and association of a historic Marion Township, Douglas County, Kansas farmstead.



Palmyra Masonic Lodge

Picture of property 602, 604 High Street
Baldwin City (Douglas County)
Listed in State Register May 14, 2011

Architect: Unknown
Area of Significance: commerce
Architectural Style(s): Italianate

Palmyra Masonic Lodge was one of the first Masonic Lodges in Kansas Territory, holding its first meetings in 1856 in the "open air."It was granted a charter in 1859, and, until the late 1860s, the lodge met on the third floor of Baker University's "College Building" (now known as Old Castle). The Masons then partnered with the local Odd Fellows organization to build a frame building that they leased to other organizations for meeting space. A fire destroyed the building in 1891, and it took the nearly three years to rebuild. The new Italianate building was dedicated on June 26, 1894. Like other fraternal buildings of that era, the first floor was designed to lease to local businesses. The second floor was divided into two principal spaces, a lodge room on the south end and a dining room on the north. Since the 1960s, the building has primarily been used for storage. The building was nominated for its social and commercial history.



Palmyra Post Office

Picture of property 511 5th St.
Baldwin City (Douglas County)
Listed in State Register Nov 18, 2017

Architect: Unknown
Area of Significance: commerce
Architectural Style(s): Vernacular
Thematic Nomination: Historic Resources of the Santa Fe Trail (Amended 2013)

Built in 1857, the old Palmyra Post Office is the only extant resource associated with the short-lived town of Palmyra. From June 1857 to May 1862, this building functioned as a post office along the Santa Fe Trail. The building was relocated at least three times since the early 1900s, finally settling into its current location in the 1980s. Although its relocation precludes its listing in the National Register, this building is important to the early history of Douglas County as a remaining resource from Palmyra and the Santa Fe Trail.
